Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄

Busuu is a lot like Duolingo but you also get to trade corrections with real people learning your native language
Yes I love Busuu! I switched about a years ago and I feel like it's actually been teaching me Dutch instead of just brute force vocabulary memorization.
My only complaint is that it's really aggressive about asking for you to subscribe. I just close the popups and I haven't ran into anything that I cant do.

What is the actual point of a streak?
A sense of pride and accomplishment?
Gamification including social aspects if you're a regular app user.
Abusive ex if you aren't a regular user.
The only way it could get worse is if they put a slot machine or roulette wheel in to give you prizes.

Having heard very mixed things about Duolingo's actual usefulness, does your wife speak or write well in any of the languages she's used the app to learn?
Not at all

How badly they want to show me ads, it's impressive. Desperate ain't sexy guys
I had a streak in the triple digits, just un-installed it. I'll be damned if I'm going to use that AI slop anymore.

Wife's streak is at 1,618 days across multiple categories. Almost 4.5 years. I imagine it's like smoking at this point.
Does she actually speak the language she's learning?

My friend learn japanese and able to speak fluently after using the app. Though she does have japanese customer from time to time that she can test it with some of them.

The aggressive notifications to do a lesson are literally why I use it. I have ADHD. Without the owl threatening to kill me and everyone I know, I would forget about it and forget all that I've learned so far.
Yeah i uninstalled

I think posting your high score might make people want to top you.

I stopped using duolingo a couple years ago because I noticed I was just doing the bare minimum to maintain my streak instead of actually learning something new.

Man I love to see that abusive Owl grovel. I also did this, good on you OP, may they see a consequence for threatening something good for the sake of greed. Eventually nothing is enough for the managers and they burn the whole thing down because of their personal addiction. This harms lives. We need to jail CEOs abusing power this way, that's the actual remedy.
we should give the owl a robot body and let it fly around the boardroom, doing whatever occurs to it from one moment to the next

I fucking hate the gamification they did to Khan Academy. Just give me the knowledge map back.

Exactly why I stopped so using it so quickly.

It's unfortunate they stopped subbing...

One notification like this and your app immediately gets notification permission revoked on my phone (if not uninstalled).
Most users aren't logical or sane like you, so this notification may actually catch their eye in their notification tray with 8k other notifications from cancer apps.

To make you addicted so you keep coming back
